KUALA LUMPUR: Cuepacs is demanding cash payment instead of off-days for overtime work by civil servants.
Its secretary-general, Ahmad Shah Mohd Zin, said today that since last
December almost 50,000 support staff from various government
departments and statutory bodies had been given just off-days for the
overtime work.
"For every eight hours of overtime work they were given one day off," he said.
"We consider this as exploitation and want the government to take immediate steps to stop this practice because it is very demoralising and affects the staff productivity," he told Bernama today.
Cuepacs, he said would meet the Chief Secretary the the Government and the Public Service Department (PSD) Director-General to sort out the issue.
Bernama understands that the departments had resorted to such measures to cut cost and also to speed up their delivery service.
"Our output targets are much higher now and we need the cooperation of our staff to work
"However, our allocations for overtime are insufficient, hence we have come up with this system of giving off-days.
"Except for a few workers, most of them were agreeable to the arrangement as they were keen to meet the set target and improve the delivery system in line with present government policy," he said.
